INITIATING COMMUNICATION IN SLEEP
When beginning communication with a DS2782 in PMOD SLEEP, the bus must be pulled up before a START bit
can be issued by the master. In UVEN SLEEP, the procedure depends on the bus state when UVEN SLEEP was
entered. If the bus was low, it must be pulled up before a START bit can be issued by the master as required with
PMOD SLEEP. If the bus was high when UVEN SLEEP was entered, then the DS2782 is prepared to receive a
START bit from the master. A standard procedure of issuing a START – STOP – START when the host system is
powered up on the charger input properly initiates communication from both PMOD and UVEN SLEEP modes.
VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
Battery voltage is measured at the VIN input with respect to VSS over a range of 0V to 4.992V, with a resolution of
4.88mV. The result is updated every 440ms and placed in the VOLTAGE register in two’s compliment form.
Voltages above the maximum register value are reported at the maximum value; voltages below the minimum
register value are reported at the minimum value. The format of the voltage register is shown in Figure 4.

VIN is usually connected to the positive terminal of a single cell Lithium-Ion battery via a 1k resistor. The input
impedance is sufficiently large (15M ) to be connected to a high impedance voltage divider in order to support
multiple cell applications. The pack voltage should be divided by the number of series cells to present a single cell
average voltage to the VIN input. In Figure 3, the value of R can be up to 1M without incurring significant error
due to input loading.
TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The DS2782 uses an integrated temperature sensor to measure battery temperature with a resolution of 0.125°C.
Temperature measurements are updated every 440ms and placed in the temperature register in two’s complement
form. The format of the temperature register is shown in Figure 5.
